## About Hermab 440 Mg Injection (Trastuzumab)

Hermab 440 mg Injection contains an active ingredient, Trastuzumab, which is used in the treatment of breast and stomach cancer. Breast cancer is cancer, which develops due to the uncontrolled growth of breast tissue cells. The breast tissue contains milk-producing glands called lobules & thin tubes called ducts. Cancer can start in either of these. Depending on where cancer starts, breast cancer is of two types: Ductal carcinoma, which develops in the cells of the lining of milk duct & Lobular carcinoma, which originates in the lobules.
